I received an unexpected mail this morning from the lovely folks at Netflix. As regular readers will know I am currently a member of the Netflix #Streamteam and they occasionally send me updates of new additions they think I would like.
The latest was simply THE BEST news. The entire five seasons of 'Community' are now available on Netflix.
We are huge fans of this show at Casa B. For those who have not seen it Community documents the experience of a lawyer whose degree turns out to be bogus and has to return to college. He becomes a member of a small study group ...

So New Years Eve was a blast. Well, as much of a blast as it could be with two small children. Mr B's brother and girlfriend were visiting from Italy and Mr B cooked up a storm. We are really trying to embrace our new surroundings so the menu was very much seafood-focused.
We started with seared fresh local scallops, asparagus and bacon. This was followed by local Brixham crab linguine and we finished with a fillet of Dab, recommended by the fishmonger for it's full flavour, which Mr B poached in butter.

It has been far too long since we joined in with Kate for a Listography and this month we simply could not resist. As a fellow Netflix #streamteam member Kate is asking for our top five films on Netflix and here are mine.

Do you ever find yourself longing for some alone time? A bit of time away from work when you can just kick back and relax without worrying about dinners to cook, clothes to wash and without any little people scrapping on the floor over toys and books. Five minutes without having to shout "Please DO NOT snatch from your sister." or "Will you PLEASE leave your brother alone."
Anyone?
Well, guess what. I have not one but TWO nights alone coming up in the not so distant future...and even one potential lie-in.
So, what to do with this oh-so-rare moment of freedom?
Catch up with ...

While Mr B and I agree on many things, there are some things that we simply cannot quite reconcile.
Bread for instance. I like white. He likes brown. Neither of us like those inbetweeny-looks-like-white-tastes-like-brown ones.
Tea. English breakfast, white, one sugar for me. Earl Grey, black, no sugar for him.
Shepherds pie. Heaven for me. Hell for him.
Oysters. Hell for me. Heaven for him.
Ok, so none of these differences are exactly a problem and we can carry on our lives quite happily, even if we do need to buy two loaves of bread at each shop and different brands of ...
